The assault was part of a broader crackdown on Shi'ite organizations, including charities, that has been sparked in part by Hamas' fear of growing Iranian influence in Gaza.
The worshippers had gathered in a house in the Sheikh Zayyad neighborhood, between Beit Lahia and Jabalya, to mark Arbaeen, the end of the 40-day mourning period for Imam Hussein, founder of Shia Islam, who was killed in 680 C.E.
Hamas militants arrested 14 of the men and beat up the rest. They continued beating the worshippers even after taking some to a hospital and others to a Hamas detention facility.

What do you expect.. Hamas was created by Israel..
by YMJ on Tue Jan 17, 2012 01:31 PM PSTIslamic Republic just wants to teach Gazans how to fight like Hezbollah.
In 2006 war with Lebanon, Israel lost over 50 of ther "invincible'' markevas! To a guirella force!
When ahmadinejad says Israel is not even in Iran's defensive doctrine, it's a fact! Israel can't even handle 4,000 man militia of Hezbollah in Lebanon!
Now IR Iran will ideologically and militaraly train another 4,000 men and Israeli's will cry some more!
So they send in Hamas to stop it from happening!
